With one ex behind her and no men in her future Navy’s one
dream doesn’t look like it will become true. Now with her ex meeting her goal but with
someone close to her. She is off and running to Bride Texas to find a husband
she hopes with a matchmaker there that
is never wrong and the first bride status where the first bride to step foot on
Bride Texas got run out on. What has she got to lose? The only man that she is
attracted to lives there and she does not. He also does not believe in the
matchmaker even if she is his grandmother.

Gavin has had a big run of bad luck
when it comes to women. Maybe it was because they were all blondes maybe he
should try a different hair color. It just so happens the only woman who has
attracted him in a long time is blonde. Oh great another woman for his grandmother
to find a match for. No way no how is
this going down.

When these two meet for the first time
sparks fly tempter raise. Every where
they turn they are in each other’s face. She needs a handy man his is the only
name the town will give. What’s a girl to do but swallow her bride and give in?
They still fight the attraction as they butt heads, she has no plans to move
and he wants a ranch. They see no way for their relationship to work out.

I have read one other book in this multi-authored
series all are clean sweet reads filled with romance, drama, a
few shocks, humor and so much more. All
the characters are well developed, very likable, and down to earth. Granny is just so sweet wonderful character I
feel in love with her from the start. Both are a little smart mouth that leads to some fun laughs
for me. The buildup of the story is smooth, fun but all is not fun and games
when it comes time to go home. I found it hard to put down and stayed up when I
should have been in bed. I did feel there was a few places it moved a little too
fast for me but I totally enjoyed the read. Sweet clean romance that keeps you
smiling and laughing what else could you want.

Navy Richards is thirty-five years of tired--tired of dating
the same men, working a demanding job, and getting her heart broken over and
over again. Her aunt has always spoken highly of the matchmaker in Bride,
Texas, and Navy knows the legends of the statue there like the back of her
hand.

So she takes a six-month sabbatical from her high-stress job as a pediatric
nurse, hops on a bus with a ticket to Bride, and dances around the statue of
Ellora Shepherd the very night she arrives. The next day, she meets with the
matchmaker and then meets her grandson, Gavin Redd. He's handsome, he's
hardworking, and he's a cowboy. But is he an Aquarius too? Navy's not making a
move until she knows for sure.

Gavin hates everything about the legend of Bride. The statue. The stupid bus
station. The blondes who come to town believing in such ridiculous things. As
if a silly dance and a simple visit with his eighty-three-year-old grandmother
are going to help a woman find a man.

So maybe he's had his heart broken a time or two. Or five. Or maybe he's too
focused on caring for his grandparents to date. Or maybe, just maybe, he needs
a little bit of the Bride magic to make him realize that just because Navy
believes in the legends he hates doesn't mean she's not the one for him. Can
Gavin and Navy navigate their differences to discover they could be a perfect
match?

This is Book 3 in the Bride, Texas series, a collaboration by today's biggest
contemporary romance authors! Check out all the titles here: lizisaacson.com/books/bride/

What do you do when your father has
lost everything and you must sell on his death leaving you and your mother with
no income, and no place to live? How about if you are a man who wants the
better things in life that only a wife in high standing can give you. The
answer to this question is to marry into money or position which both Morganna
and Sloan do. One wants to make sure her mother is taken care of the other
wants a position that only old money can give him. Do not be taken in by his
smooth gentle charm he has a secret if it come out might harm his marriage.

Ms. Slade narration was very good she really put the emotion into the
story without going overboard. Some of her character voices are close to others
but for the most part you have no trouble knowing who is talking and what they
are feeling. There were no background noises
if any breaks were taken I could not tell. It is a great clean, fun audio that
I really enjoyed. Sloan comes off cool, at times cold and easy going. Not much
really gets to him. Whereas Morganna tries her best be do the same she isn’t
able to pull it off. The narrator has no trouble deploying these qualities to
her listeners. There was no repeating of
words. It is a very clean, clear audio that is very enjoyable.

The author puts a few twists in that I didn’t see coming. I did work
out who was doing it and the why but at times I was a little unsure. I loved
the mother she is cool but sees more than anyone things. I really liked this characters she is sneaky.
Morganna I have mixed feeling about I liked her and her wit the way she comes
back is great. She isn’t a snob but a very caring person. You know almost from
the start that she didn’t marry for herself but her mother and that Sloan more
or less blackmailed her into it. She didn’t really grab me and pull me in like
some of the characters did. Sloan was a little too cool or cold for me. Nothing
seems to get to him not even when things happen to his business he doesn’t get
excited or loss his tempter. I just don’t know too many people who wouldn’t
show some signs of what they are going through even in private. The fire marshal
is very surprising he had me going for a little while. I really liked the plot
and the characters just some more than others. I do not think the author really
gave a good reason why the person did what they did to the business.Where all that hate came from blew my mind.

It was a fun read that does pull you in at times it is funny and other
times heartbreaking. Very clean and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the touch of suspense and the
danger the author puts into this story.The romance has a nice buildup very
smooth and easy. I did enjoy it and
plan to listen to more of this author and narrators work.

This was a very hot heat read that I
thought was realistic with wonderful character you could relate to. What really
made this audio for me was the duel narration. The author gives you a sweet
woman who is pulled into a dangerous situation when her brother is caught steal
from a biker gang. Emily has raised her brother from the age of 13 when her
parents died. She has done the best she can but sometimes that isn’t enough
when you have a strong minded brother who is hooked on drugs. Making the gang
hunting him down and finding his sister was not a wise move at he will soon
find out. Emily must do as they ask or they will kill her brother. Her life has
been simple up to this point she is more or less sweet and innocent but not
that innocent. She must put herself into their rival gang to find out
information turn it over to her brothers gang but doing this could get her and
her brother killed. On doing this they will release her brother to her. She has
two weeks and the countdown has begun.

I loved how the two narrators broke
this down doing more or less throw own gender. Mr. Levine has a very strong
voice that is sexy, kind, rough, strong, hard, and smooth all at the same time.
Ms. Deward has a very sweet voice that can be rough if need me but she is
sweet, kind and strong. Both of their normal voices are delightful as was their
character voices. There were no background noises, no volume changes, you could
not tell where one left off and the other began in this I mean it was smooth
and sounded like how two people normally talk. The emotions these two displays
throughout the audio are amazing. You always know who is talking and what they
are feeling. I loved how they chuckled or laughed along with showing pain and
sorrow from start to finish. This audio was exciting, thrilling and passionate
filled with real emotions pulling the listener in. I had not listened to
anything by them before and was blown away by their performance. If any breaks
were taken I could not tell what they deliver is a fun, thrilling ride full of
passion, hurt, pain and sorrow trying to make it out alive. When all hell
breaks loose you are pulled to the edge holding your breath talking to the
characters as if they were real. I was hooked from start to finish. I wish I
could give these two more stars.

The author gives you a well balance
story that is well thought out. She fills it with excitement, danger, passion
and indifference of the unknown. The plot falls together easy making it a very
believable story. I really enjoyed the twists and turns they were exciting and
kept me on the edge. The main characters were a delight the supporting
characters some you fell in love with others not so much. I laughed, chuckled
and wanted to cry at a few heart stopping moments. My mind cannot even wrap
around what Emily has to do which makes it even harder when she falls for the
head of the MC reveal gang. When it comes down to her brother of her lover
which one will she save? I think we all do stereo-typing, not everything is as
you have heard or even seen. Sometimes there are some good guys that look rough
and tough but can be so sweet and gentle but at the same time if you mess with
them or theirs there will be hell to pay. Emily finds this out the hard way
which leaves her in more danger then she has seen in a life time. She isn’t
sure how she will make this work but she must. She will give her life for the
men she loves. This is a very passionate filled read with chemistry that is off
the wall. It is hot, exciting and one you won’t forget for a while. I loved the
humor, the baiting of one another as each has their own goal. This is one of
those books I will listen to again. I really didn’t want it to end.

Thrust into a world of danger and fear, first grade teacher,
Emily, is forced to comply with a terrifying MC president’s demands in order to
save her brother’s life. Her only port in the storm is Jester, a member of a
rival MC she’s supposed to use and betray. Jester proves to be the opposite of
everything Emily expects, and before long she’s in his bed, and he’s in her
heart.

Jester would give life and limb for the No Prisoners Motorcycle Club. His sole
focus needs to be on the impending attack against their enemies, the Grimm
Brothers. Meeting sweet and innocent Emily wasn’t part of his plan, and falling
for her is out of the question.

Can Emily save her brother’s life without destroying the man who opens her eyes
and heart to an amazing world of pleasure? She’ll do anything in her power to
help her brother while protecting Jester, but when Jester finds out she was
sent by his enemy, she may lose everything she’s trying to preserve.
